Shortly after posting my entry yesterday, I began to wonder whether I was becoming too London-centric. I had assumed the Star Trek event was going to be in london, either at the Excel or somewhere else, because this is where everything happens, isn’t it? The website had just referred to a ‘UK convention announcement’, though, and I’d somehow forgotten that there are plenty of places outside of london where cool things can happen, too. I love this city, it’s vibrancy and energy; if you live here, it’s easy to forget that London is not the centre of the world. The capital seems to have a self-important buzz to it, and that seems to have infected me. After all, this is were the queen is escorted to her engagements by 007, and where Monty Python performed their last ever gig: surely that makes it the coolest place on earth, doesn’t it? So why wouldn’t the star trek event automatically be in London, rather than a poxy little town like Birmingham? It’s a mentality lots of people here seem to have, and, having livd here for six years, something I too am guilty of.
